Show Notes:

• Who’s Voice Are You Listening To?
  • • We’re flooded with opinions- influencers, false teachers, YouTube preachers.
    • God has made it clear about Jesus, His voice must be supreme.
    • False Teachers rely on human wisdom; John reminds us: God’s word is greater. (Proverbs 3:5 - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.”
• The Testimony Within
  • This isn’t some mystical elitism. This is grace-born assurance.
  • Distract from the Holy Spirit
  • “You’ve been taught wrong”
  • “Let ME show you the hidden meaning”
  • “Jesus didn’t really mean that”
  • We are not left to figure it out alone. We have the Holy Spirit
  • False Teachers and their distractions
• False Teachers in Today’s Church
  • Garden of Eden (Gen 3:1)
  • The serpent moves from questioning God’s word to direct rejection of it. “You surely will not die”
  • The serpent explains why God actually does not want people to eat from the tree.
  • Jesus is a moral example, not a savior
  • Downplays sin and elevates personal truth
  • Encourages spiritual journeys without submission to Christ
  • Not a blatant disregard of the truth, more of a shade of the truth. They sound so reasonable and even impressive.
  • False teachers question what God said.
  • False teachers defy or reject what God said.
  • False teachers offer a “better” alternative
  • Usually subtle
• Stand Firm
  • Know the testimony
    • Read the Word. Know what God says.
  • Trust the testimony
    • Let the Spirit affirm your faith, not shake it.
  • Reject false testimony
    • Don’t flirt with distortion.
  • Encourage others.
    • Speak up when the truth is twisted. Be Bold in truth, gentle in love
  • Set Boundaries to avoid false teaching
    • Ask God to strengthen your knowledge, wisdom, and discernment in His Word.
    • Guard your heart
  • How Do We Respond?
• Conclusion:

The time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths,” 2 Timothy 4:3-4
